Here's my little glance at 1912. I'm telling you right now, in case you didn't already know this, but this year is going to get a lot more look backs than usual because it marks the one hundredth anniversary of a couple of famous events: the disastrous end of Robert Falcon Scott's South Pole expedition; the sinking of the Titanic; and Theodore Roosevelt's last stand as the candidate for his own progressive Bull Moose party (note: at that time Bull Moose probably didn't sound like such a non-starter of a name considering it was only about a hundred years since the days of parties called "Know-Nothings" and "Free Soil").Oh, and welcome to the Union, Arizona and New Mexico.

I wish I could figure out how to do links within a post so you could jump directly to your topic of interest, but I haven't been able to find out how to do that, if it's even possible. The best I can do is give you this little non-linking table of contents so you at least have some idea of the order of things.
